Katy Malenkov (Yekaterina Dmitryevna)

Last updated through GM3 ch 16.

Orthodox high school junior from a less traditional family dating Mike; explores physical intimacy cautiously, discusses long-term challenges of his medical training with him, and considers college choices (leaning toward Ohio State partly because of him) while her parents express concerns about the future. On her eighteenth birthday she asks Mike to take her virginity (on the Pill; "wanted you to be my first") and they make love three times at her house; immediately afterward she reveals a Valentine's dance invitation and desire to date the other guy, breaking up with him on the spot because she is going to Stanford and had already decided they were over after he declined cohabitation. By Mar 1983 she is friendly with Mike (Sunday contact) but not dating him — she sees a High School guy for dances. June 5, 1983 — parish lunch with Angie; bound for Stanford (California ~four years). July 24, 1983 — confirms Mike for family dinner Aug 5. Aug 5, 1983 (Circleville) — parents unexpectedly leave for a movie; she and Mike have extended sex (sauna, shower, bed) as a no-commitment «options open» farewell; Mike remains her only male partner; she leaves for Stanford Monday and wants friendship/Christmas dinner if he can.
